Dundee City Archives: Subject Index

This subject index provides a brief overview of the collections held at Dundee City Archives. The index is sorted by topic, and in some cases sub-topics. The page index on the next page gives a brief overview of the subjects included. The document only lists the collections that have been deposited at Dundee City Archives. Therefore it does not list records that are part of the Dundee City Council Archive or any of its predecessors, including:

School Records

Burial Records

Planning Records

Poorhouse Records

Licensing Records

Minutes

Reports

Other council records

If you are interested in records that would have been created by the council or one of its predecessors, please get in contact with us to find out what we hold.

Please note that some records may be closed due to restrictions such as data protection. Other records may not be accessible as they are too fragile or damaged. Please contact us for further information or check access restrictions. How do I use this index? The page index on the next page gives a list of subjects covered.
